Since Thursday, when it reached the $73,750 barrier for the session, the oldest and largest cryptocurrency token, bitcoin, has been the talk of the financial world for the past few weeks. Due to growing enthusiasm, market observers anticipate that the cryptocurrency asset will soar over $75,000 levels in the upcoming days.
Due to the anticipated halving event, growing institutional investment, and growing retail involvement in Bitcoin ETFs, Bitcoin has experienced a significant rise in the last several days and weeks. Bitcoin has experienced a meteoric rise, making it a multibagger asset across multiple timeframes.
After rising by over 50% over the previous month and almost 200% over the previous year, Bitcoin reached the $73,000 mark. According to Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, the market's positive momentum is explained by the increased interest in Bitcoin spot ETFs and the impending Bitcoin halving event, which has traditionally affected the price of Bitcoin.
"There has been a steady rise of mainstream acceptance and investments from both retail and institutions since the Bitcoin spot ETF approval. Now that Bitcoin surpassed the $73,000 threshold, the next target is at the $76,000 level. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF has outpaced MicroStrategy in accumulating Bitcoins within just two months of its launch showing the increasing demand," he said.
Bitcoin's recent rise demonstrates both its tenacity and the general public's embrace of cryptocurrencies. The co-founder of CoinDCX, Sumit Gupta, credited this increase to growing institutional interest in the cryptocurrency market. "As the digital asset ecosystem continues to mature, we're witnessing a notable shift in investor sentiment towards these virtual assets."
The cryptocurrency ecosystem is generally in a positive state. After more than two years of a bad market for cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin ETFs have given the market the initial boost it needed to start rising, but numerous significant events are also moving the market in the right direction, according to Gupta.
According to data from Coinmarketcap, the entire volume of the cryptocurrency market has climbed by more than 16.45% to $133.74 billion, while the global market capitalization has increased by a mere 1/4% to $2.78 trillion in the same day. Barely holding 52% of the market, Bitcoin is the dominant cryptocurrency.
According to Kumar Gaurav, Founder & CEO of Cashaa, the surge has forced many short sellers to liquidate their short positions in Bitcoin futures, forcing them to purchase Bitcoin to cover their positions. This has put additional upward pressure on the price of Bitcoin.
Thanks to a few memetokens that have experienced a strong surge amid the excitement, as well as other altcoins, the dominance of Bitcoin has waned in recent days. Several tokens, including Dogwifhat, Bonk, and Pepe, have increased in value by 20–40% over the past day. Solana, Floki, Dogecoin, and Fantom are a few of the well-known brands that have increased by up to 13% over this time.
Not every expert, though, is thrilled about the long-term growth in the cryptocurrency industry. Some of them argue that the excitement around altcoins has extended to secular rallies in a little period of time, and caution is warranted. Any space expedition should be avoided, and admission should only be granted upon pullbacks.
As it continues to rise, Bitcoin (BTC) reaches fresh all-time highs amid quick buy-ups after every dip. According to Rajagopal Menon, vice President of WazirX, analysts warn of a possible cooling period ahead, citing Bitcoin's roughly twofold increase in value since late January without any declines.
"The negative bearish divergence on the 4-hour RSI suggests a potential price decline. Additionally, the rise in meme coins' value hints at a possible reversal, Traders are advised to monitor these levels closely for potential price shifts," he cautioned.
